Cricket Strike Rate Calculator
Work out a batter's strike rate — the runs scored per 100 balls. Enter the runs and the balls faced to see how quickly a batter is scoring, for T20, ODI and club matches.
What is strike rate in cricket?
A batter's strike rate is how many runs they score for every 100 balls they face. It's the standard measure of scoring speed: two batters can both make 50, but the one who did it in fewer balls has the higher strike rate and put more pressure on the bowling side. It's written as runs per 100 balls, so a strike rate of 100 means one run a ball.
How to calculate strike rate
The formula is strike rate = (runs ÷ balls faced) × 100. Multiplying by 100 turns the runs-per-ball figure into the familiar per-100-balls number.
- Enter the runs scored by the batter.
- Enter the balls faced.
- The calculator divides one by the other and multiplies by 100 to give the strike rate.
Strike rate example
A batter scores 75 from 50 balls. Their strike rate is (75 ÷ 50) × 100 = 150.00 — they scored at one and a half runs a ball. Enter the same numbers above to see it update as the innings goes on.
Batting vs bowling strike rate
The word “strike rate” means opposite things for batters and bowlers. For a batter it's runs per 100 balls, so higher is better. For a bowler it's the average number of balls needed per wicket, so lower is better. This tool calculates the batting strike rate; for the bowling side, the economy rate calculator covers runs conceded per over.
